[etni] Re: too many matkonet tests...

We've done this a bit differently.  Our 11th grade 5-pointers took module E
this year.  They will take F and G in the winter.  Those who don't pass can
either retake the exam in the summer or choose to take modules C and D in
the summer so that they will have a 4-point grade.
